5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Resource, Great Ideas, Inspiring, January 26, 2005
If you are holding off getting married due to financial concerns, hold off no longer. I found enough advice in this one book to take our own wedding plans off the "hold" button. Intimate, small and personal is in. Intimate Weddings is like having your own wedding planner, whose mission is to save you time and money while helping you find that personal edge to make your day as individual as you are. You CAN have a wedding without racking up new debt and without spending the better part of a year working toward that one special day. Read the book: along with cost and time-saving tips, you'll learn how to get the best deals, including destination weddings, indoor and outdoor ceremonies, and more. Thanks Christina for showing us how to go against the grain. Smaller is definitely better.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent guide for brides who want an intimate wedding, October 15, 2004
By Ann Douglas "pregnancy/parenting author" (Peterborough, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Intimate Weddings is beautifully designed, has been painstakingly researched, and is written with style and elegance. The book explains the rationale for having a small wedding, how to go about planning your wedding, setting a budget, creating an intimate ceremony, organizing a reception, planning indoor vs. outdoor receptions, choosing a theme, planning your honeymoon, second weddings, and preserving your wedding memories. Christina Friedrichsen challenges couples to question wedding traditions that may or may not work for them as they plan an intimate and memorable wedding: e.g. do you really want a receiving line? If you want to plan a simple but tasteful wedding, the resource directory at the back of this book will be invaluable to you in your research.

5.0 out of 5 stars an absolute wedding encyclopedia, December 14, 2004
Intimate Weddings is an absolute encyclopedia for anyone planning a more reasonable, less extravagant wedding day. Answers to questions you may have relating to a small wedding will most likely be answered in this well written book. Author Christina Friedrichsen establishes excellent ideas to balance her views of what constitutes an "intimate wedding". Reality reading at its best for brides and grooms wanting a unique day suited for themselves and their budget. Actual couples weddings, including the authors, are outlined for readers to view and compare.
